We do something that creates memories and brings children together around a common theme. It can be about our ecosystem, peacebuilding, about health or personal issues, such as grief and loss of loved ones, being bullied or having big and small fears, or talking about injustice.
Children's yoga is a good way for kids to learn about their bodies, minds and all their potential. Kids who practise yoga can develop the tools and discipline to experience optimal health, well-being and inner peace. Children's yoga is a playful gathering without competition. That's important. The combination of yoga postures, breathing, and relaxation has a positive effect on the child's mind and soul.

Pearls of wisdom
Yoga poses are just physical exercises, but when you adopt the philosophy of yoga, you really change yourself. The added value of yoga will be significant for those who practice.
Yoga is a dharmic tradition that focuses on universal values such as non-violence, peace and compassion. The yoga sutras written by Patanjali are the roots of our children's yoga. Those ancient texts discuss social and personal rules called the "Yamas and Niyamas." According to Patanjali, these two pillars are the foundations on which yoga is built.
Buddhism, as we know it today, was known in ancient times as Dhamma-Vinaya." Dhamma is the same as Dharma in Sanskrit, and Vinaya is the ethical code of the Buddha. These include advice about how to be a good person and calls for teaching wisdom, good insight, and good intentions.
Generation after generation, these pearls of wisdom were memorized and told to others by monks. LateLater, around 30 BC, Buddhist monks wrote down the recitations on ola leaves in the cave of Aloka in Sri Lanka. The Pali Canon is intended to help humanity towards healthy and peaceful societies.
It would surprise the old monks, sadhus and seers how we save our knowledge in megabytes and how cell phones have changed how we communicate today.
The digital age has connected us across the globe. Children grow up in this technological wonder world where they can talk to people on the other side of the planet in a flash.
Kids love their mobile phones. And be honest! Smart devices can be used to learn many things. We use face-to-face communication with children from other countries and continents at the yoga gathering. These spontaneous conversations promote the use of the internet positively.
